    Good pole from Vettel. Unexpected. I think Hamilton will pass him, or egg him on into an error. Webber could get a podium, but its so tight, that I don't fancy his chances as much this weekend. Jenson should make the podium, if he doesn't suffer any technical failures. I don't think this will be Rosberg's race. Ricciardo shows Ferrari the type of driver they should really have, as second to Alonso. Grosjean drove like someone lit his strides afire. With Kimi breathing down his neck, he did really need to show his racing ability. Well done on that, as I didn't expect him to beat Kimi at all. Massa again, was very poor. He won't drive for Ferrari next year. He really is being shown up.

    As for the race, it will be very tight. I think Mclarens have the better race pace than Red Bull, but that could be wrong, as Red Bull have stepped it up a bit. I see the race being close from start to finish. And, even better racing and wheel-to-wheel stuff than in the last race. Despite the politics, Bernie will be happy with the closeness of the racing. I don't know if Bahrain will host F1 next year though. Dicey.
